CCS/EZ430-F2013: Timer A interrupt doesn't work

Part Number: EZ430-F2013

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I am working on a demo code for ez430-fr2500-seh kit. All works fine, but I want to add my own alterations. One of them is to add Timer_A service, but having set breakpoint in ISR the program doesn't reach it.
My code (I used the exaqmple of timer_b setting basicly, as it should work the same):

TACCTL0 = CCIE; 
TACCR0 = sec5;  
TACTL = TASSEL_2 + MC_1; 

....

#pragma vector=TIMERA0_VECTOR
__interrupt void TimerA_ISR (void)
{
    //something... (and a breakpoint)

}

When it comes to the timer_b:

TBCCTL0 = CCIE; // TBCCR0 interrupt enabled
TBCCR0 = WakeupPeriod; // ~10 sec (=15000/(12000/8))
TBCTL = TBSSEL_1 + MC_1 + ID_3; // ACLK, upmode, Divider = 8

...

#pragma vector=TIMERB0_VECTOR
__interrupt void TimerB_ISR (void)
{
__bic_SR_register_on_exit(LPM3_bits); // Clear LPM3 bit from 0(SR)

}

  • Which demo code are you working with?

    Your code looks fine in isolation. If you're getting timer B interrupts, but not timer A interrupts, I'm wondering if some other part of the code is altering the Timer A registers behind your back.
  • I havent found any reference in the whole program so I assumed timer A is not used. The demo code is the SEH sensor monitor demo code for the ez430-rf2500-seh kit
  • The Sensor Monitor was my first guess, but I didn't see any TimerB references in there either. The fact that you're getting TimerB interrupts (or not) is an important clue.

    Where did you insert your code?
  • TimerB is used in SEH, I enclosed the code in my post. There also is timer b interrupt, which works fine as I tried it with breakpoint as well
  • You'll have to give me some clues here. My CCS (v8.1) can't seem to import the project in SLAC139G (makes a mess of it), and searching by hand is slow.

    The first two files I looked at (main_AP.c, main_ED.c) both had TIMERA0_VECTOR-s, which should have prevented your code from linking (duplicate symbol), but would have conflicted with your code in any case.
  • I am using CCS 6.2, but still the program gets messy on first trial, I woulndt recommend you fight with it. My question is where did you find the reference to timerA in ED.c. I dont see anything unfortunately... if it is like so, then my efforts are senseless
  • I downloaded file SLAC139G,zip (via the Chronos page as I recall) and I found this starting at line 479 in Embedded/CCS/Code/Applications/main_AP.c:

    /*------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    * Timer A0 interrupt service routine
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
    #pragma vector=TIMERA0_VECTOR
    __interrupt void Timer_A (void)
    {
      sSelfMeasureSem = 1;
    }

    I suspect we're not looking at the same code.

    There's no magic here. I'm just looking for

    1) An ISR that's somehow blocking yours or

    2) Someone changing the TA0 registers or

    3) Someone turning off GIE (__disable_interrupts) for a really long time.

  • No, we dont seem to have the same code. As you can see below, there simply no reference to the timer

  • Nope, not even vaguely similar. I didn't find any alternate code base. The SEH product page is mostly empty.

    Where did you insert your code?

    I would just follow the symptom:
    1) As the program runs, pause it occasionally and see if the TA0 registers look the way you intend. This will tell you if (a) the logic flow skipped your code or (b) someone else modified the registers.
    2) Check the TA0CCR0 interrupt vector (0xFFF2) to make sure it points at your ISR. (Hint: Type the contents into the Disassembly window.) This will tell you if the compiler skipped your code.
  • Okay, I will follow these steps. You at least helped me with confirming my assumptions. Thank you for your time and help
